      “One of the hardest things to accept, acknowledge, manage and learn from is our own unconscious bias.”

      Rachel Scheuerman — Director of Projects and Special Initiatives

      “Building community, collections and services is what we do, providing equitable access to these resources is Pratt's responsibility.”

      Darcell Graham — Vice President of Public Services

      “At the Pratt, our business is access. That access may come in the form of a book, a website, or maybe a person. We find the resources to help people achieve their goals.”

      Meghan McCorkell — Chief of Marketing, Communications, & Strategy
